The purpose of the DoD COVID-19 Vaccine Questionnaire is to; 1) reach out to the vast majority of our authorized vaccine eligible population who have not received the COVID-19 vaccine per Military Health System records to provide instructions on how to receive the vaccine; 2) understand existing vaccine demand to adjust; 3) Inform future (i.e. booster) vaccination efforts. 4) Lift an administrative burden from the MTFs by executing a standardized survey at the HQ level. 5) Remind message/questionnaire recipients to have their medical record updated with their vaccination as applicable. The results of the questionnaire will update the existing Population Risk Assessment Tool (PRAT)/CarePoint if they have self-reported that they have received the vaccine (to include the product and number of doses received).
This information needs to be collected immediately to inform the current COVID vaccine campaign. The information collected will provide a more accurate picture of the DoD population (Active Duty service members, Federal employees, and contractors) regarding vaccine status, which informs current vaccine demand and current DoD vaccination operations.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
